Have you ever tried tacos baked in the oven before? This is my new secret trick to making perfect crunchy tacos ever time whether it’s on a Tuesday or a Friday, these are always amazing! A few months ago I did a poll on my Instagram with what everyone’s go-to meals were. About 70% of the people said tacos! And then a few of them said they love making oven baked tacos!

I personally had never made them but ever since then I have made them multiple times! They are way easier then it seems and I think they are a step up from the normal ground beef tacos. Kind of like twice baked potatoes. Baked potatoes are good. But twice baked them and yup…they are better! Check out these easy steps for tacos baked in an oven!

Oven Baked Tacos

Ingredients

• Crunchy Taco Shells
• 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 packet taco seasoning
• 1 (14 oz) can roasted corn (drained)

• cheddar cheese
• taco toppings- cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, sour cream, hot sauce

Instructions

1. In a skillet brown the ground meat and then add in the onion and cook for a few minutes.
2. Next, put in the taco seasoning and cook until the onions and meat are all cooked.

3. Drain the corn and the Ro-tel and add it to the meat mixture.

4. Next, grab a baking dish and line it with taco shells. Fill the bottom with some cheese and then top the cheese with some meat.

5. Drain the juices off the meat so that the bottom of the tacos don’t get soggy and then top with more cheese.

7. Remove from oven and top with your favorite taco toppings!
